Chapter 0181 – It’s Best to Use Local Materials (1 / 2)

At breakfast time, Wu Pei Yu took the initiative to bring up the matter of the wasteland, ”Che’er, Luo Luo, yesterday, I heard your cousin say that a dozen acres of land had been organized.

Mother has never planted land before and doesn’t know if it’s still possible to plant at this time of the year, if she needs to fertilize the land first or something. Mother can’t help you with this aspect of planting.”

Lan Luoluo just took a bite of the bun, after hearing Wu Peiyu’s words, she swallowed the bun in her mouth in two or three times, “Mother, you don’t have to worry about this, I have already thought of going to try planting those crops I found in the mountains.

But winter comes early in this climate, and to keep the crops from getting frostbite I’m going to make a warming hut to test it out before planting.”

“Warming hut?”

This word is relatively new everyone still heard it for the first time, except for Shen Che all looked at Lan Luoluo in puzzlement.

“Sister-in-law, do you mean to keep all those crops in the house for warmth?”

Lan Luoluo appreciatively glanced at Shen Wanjing, the understanding was spot on. “Yes, it’s what you think, but the warming hut is much more simple, supported by bamboo or wood, and covered with a better light transmitting …… tarpaulin.”

There was no plastic sheeting in this era, and Lan Luo Luo felt that a tung oil-soaked white burlap should be fine. On top of the tarpaulin was covered with a layer of straw matting, and the vegetable greenhouse of the modern world was transported to ancient times by her.

“Isn’t that the same as the warm room in the garden of the Empress Dowager’s palace? Only that is a small room built with glaze, specializing in cultivating precious flower species for the Empress Dowager to enjoy.”

Shen Wanjing tsked, “Just that one warming house I heard that it cost a lot of money and was treasured by the empress dowager as if it was the pearl of her eye. Sister-in-law if you were to build the warming hut wouldn’t you be comparing the empress dowager to all of them?”

Lan Luoluo guffawed, that is not to build a warming hut empress dowager can not be compared to her. How can an old woman who has been stuck in the harem all her life and has never even been out of the capital be compared to her!

“Luo Luo no matter what you want to do Mother will support you unconditionally, as long as you guys think it’s the right thing just let go and do it.” Wu Pei Yu felt that she couldn’t help things then don’t add to the chaos by asking questions.

When she is needed just do as she is told, like those materials for making plush dolls she assumes that her daughter-in-law knows an overseas businessman and gets them from overseas.

You don’t have to get to the bottom of it yourself!

“Mother, in a while we’ll go to the county town to see if there are any suitable tarpaulins for sale. By the way, let’s buy some crop seeds, this side is close to the Fans, there might be some rare grain or vegetable seeds.

Have Butler Wu arrange for some men to cut some one-man high round logs to make supports for the warming hut when we return.”

Shen Che took the initiative to carry the banner of explaining and dumping, at the same time, he arranged the things that needed to be done today, going to the county town was just a front, going out to hang around was convenient for Lan Luoluo to come up with some space stuff.

After breakfast Shen Che and Lan Luoluo drove the carriage to the county town, “Where are we going first, daughter-in-law?”

“Go to the cloth shop, see if there are any suitable tarpaulins.” Lan Luoluo felt that building a warming hut was something that benefited the people that could be developed all the time, it was better to use the materials available at the moment.

If she used the plastic she had gotten from space, she would need more materials later when the greenhouses became popular, and it was unrealistic to get a huge amount from space.

It all relies on plastic sheeting. What if she leaves this world one day and needs materials to build another shed? Not to mention the fact that plastic sheeting is also very polluting to the environment.

The environment of this world was still pristine and pure, and she couldn’t be that evil person who destroyed it!

That’s why it’s best to take it locally!

The two of them went to the cloth shop as their first stop, and coincidentally, they were just in time to see the shopkeeper inside the cloth shop angrily reprimanding the little fellow. Curses and cries kept coming from the backyard.
